I think the point here is the *single* email that some fear might get
lost. Make it two or three emails. One with the 30 day period, then one
on the day before - and finally a last one "We've closed your account",
Hi all,

But why? you are an active member and want to remain one, you just
have the misfortune of your contributions being unlikely of being
automatically detected
So with the planned procedure, you'll receive an email
That email will ask if you're still interested in being a member
You will reply Yes
And you wouldn't become a retired member, you'd keep having your
@opensuse.org email address...nothing would change
People will only be retired if they choose they no longer want to be a member
And if they no longer want to be a member, I do not see why they
should still be able to represent the project with an @opensuse.org
email address
So the plan is to break existing mail addresses once someone becomes
inactive? That makes it less likely that people actually use their
@opensuse.org mail address because "it could go away". That also means
less "advertising" for openSUSE.
I agree with Christian. Though I am not much active on the mailing list,
forums and even IRC, I do happen to evangelize openSUSE with the resources I
got here in Mauritius. The opensuse.org email alias is one of the "tools"
that comes handy when promoting openSUSE, especially while contacting local
institutions (e.g universities) to host events.
I'd propose to keep the mail address even for
retired members (unless
someone actively asks to drop it, or it starts bouncing mails).
I go along Christian's suggestion.
